Death Before DishOnOr.

A soldier quartered in the barracks
in the Place de la Republique, Paris,
committed suicide under painful cir
cumstances. He was strolline about n
fortnight ago with some comrades,
when they stopped to contemplate
the goods displayed at n bazaar in
the neighborhood. The party had
been indulging in tavern hard by,
and took up and trined with some OF
the things. In the morning, to his con-
sternation, the man learned that he
had to 60 to the lookup for week
for theft, and that he would probably
be court-mar tailed. He had put u
small notebook valued at one penny
in his pocket, and protested that at
the time he did not know what he
was doing. As he was bling led to
prison, he suddenly slipped away,
and, running to the window, with the
cry: Farewell, my friends, | am not
a thief" leaped out OF it head fore
most. He was picked up and taken to
the military hospital in a dying state.
At his earnest request, his captain
was sent for. and he had sufficient
strength left him to explain that he
had slipped the notebook quite mad
vertently into his pocket, and that he
preferred to die rather than be brand
ed as thief He implored his officers
to tell him that he was innocent, and
the captain, deeply moved, had just
time to take his hand ere he expired.

Towards Fall.

Jacksonville News (Dem.)
There is something dramatic in the fall of
Warden Howard. For years he has welded the
whip in Clark county and city politics: he has
been factor in State politics: Legislature after
Legislature, whether Democratic or Republican,
has been as wax in his hands, and committee
after committee surrendered to him. For over
ten years he has waged successful war on every
around him for the retention of his office and
power in politics. He used all means and used
them skilfully, with unlimited grit. But his
methods were such that they finally estranged
almost every friend He assumed the role of
dictator in Clark county, and pursued his enc
mics those opposed to him relentlessly. He
made the very common. mistake-tnat it is the
sole business of life to punish opponents. 1t
has proven too great task. He might perhaps
have gone on for years to come if he had let 9th
ers alone, and perhaps might have rewarded him
self. AS it is, his disaster shows his own meth
DDS turned upon him. leaving him with years of
wasted energy broken in fortune. broken in
prestige, his reputation damaged, his course pro-
claimed throughout the country. The News is
putting it mildly but even thus it is terrible
warning to those ntrusted with public affairs
and in public place and power.

Was the Man Murdered?

Shebyyllle Republican.
Jack Howard was warden at the southern
prison at the time Steve Smith was brought
back from that institution corpse An exami-
nation was held here, as will be emembered, by
DR.. Drake and other local physicians, and they
reported that his neck had been broken, which
was strong evidence that he had been murdered
The authorities at the prison said Smith died
from fever and Jack Howard, accompanied by
lot of pot-belied doctors from Louisville,
came here and, after holding post mortem,
claimed that the local physicians were ignorant
and not capable of telling whether or not the
dead mans neck was broken. We were always
satisfied that Steve Smith was murdered. a
year or two ago man was released from the
southern prison and came to this neighborhood
to work. He claimed to have seen the blow
struck which killed poor Steve Smith, but he
was afraid to tell about it until after he was re-
leased from prison, and even then only spoke of
it in private. This affair should be reopened and
rigid!y investigated to see if the scoundres at
the southern prison added murder to their other
rascaliries

BARNUM FOR PRESIDENT.
Prohibitionists Want to Nominate the Old
Snowman.
New York Times.

New York Times
Prohibitionists continue to think that they
have political organization and right to ex-
istence and recognition. Consequently they
talk about the campaign of 1888 as if they were
to be factor in it in some way or other. ST.
John will probably be thrown overheard as a
candidate for the Presidency when the battle of
the ballots is again to be fought The leaders in
the movement here are canvassing to try and
find some available material. Hereabout and up
in New England there seems to be disposition
to try and make p. T. Barnum stand as can
didate. What the old showmans position is no
one knows exactly. He is Republican nomi-
nally. but has been for years pronounced Pro
hibitionist Lately, however, he has somewhat
injured his chances by coming out ia favor of
high license and limiting the number of saloons
in CITY to one for every 800 or 900 inhabitants
That's rank treachery in the eyes of Prohbi-
ZIONIST Then, too ne 10 getting SO we'll along in
years that the arduous work of a campaign
would, it is believed, be to much for him
'sWhat is this Barnum boom, anyway?" a
Times reporter asked Tody Hamilton, ono of the
old showmans umbquitous agents. "Is it q
scheme 10 advertise Barnum concocted by the
managers of his showg"
NO. I've heard of it before and the Prohibi-
tonsts up his way are back of it. A scheme to
advertise Barnum9 Bless you no: you can't
successfully advertise Barnum from show
mans point of view. Every kid in knee breeches
knows all about him. Let me tell you yarn
on that point that's never beon in print. Three
or four years ago, when Barnum and Fore
paugh were having one OF their periodical
fights, lot of Forepaugh's men went
bills advertising the show. They put ur
a big stand six hundred feet long
and covered it al with the gaudy bills circus
men use. They'd very nearly completed their
work when an old farmer drove along on hil
way to town. He halted and looked over tht

bills which had Forapaugh's name
all over them After he'd finished
studying the lions, elephants, acrobats, and ali
that sort Of thing, including Forepaugh's name
everywhere, he turned to one of the paste pot
brigade, and remarked:
"'Well I'm glad Barnum's coming along
again, and guess I'll come in town aad see him.
Advertise Barnum Why, when even the rival
circuses can't help advertising him his show
managers would be very foolish to attempt any
such costly expedient as presidential nomina-
ton for the very cheap lot of advertising they'd
get out OF it. If he's nominated you bet
the Prohibitonists will do the job. They won't
get any helpfrom his circus managers, and they
don't think he'd stand the nomination.

What Mr.. Barnum Thinks.

New York Special.
Hon. Phineas T. Barnum. whose greatest
show on earth has delighted many generations
of New Workers, was here to-day on business.
1T having been reported that the veteran show
man stood good chance of being the standard
bearer OF the Prohibition party for President in
1888, reporter asked him if it was true.
he replied: Last year I was asked to bear
the standard Of that party for the presi-
dency Of the United States. but gave
answer. l have heard that the same is to be
rendered to me again this year; but SO far 1t has
not been done have been teetotalier since

Delleve intemperance is vice and a curse At

be granted for less than 5000, and when there

the young men, There nothing of the kind

looms, there should be to every adult; then
the evil would die out from its very monstrosity.

people themselves. They may have clubs
